My First Mardi Gras In San Pablo City

>> Thursday, January 19, 2012 – Choose The Philippines

Last week was the City Fiesta of San Pablo City. It was my first time. I got so excited when Arnel, my 'cousin in law', asked me to experience the Mardi Gras. I heard the event would start around two in the afternoon. Arnel and I just arrived a few minutes after two. I thought we just made it on time. But to my surprise, there was a huge crowd covering the whole place! We tried looking for better location until we ended up in the corner of Rizal Avenue and Bonifacio Street. I hardly viewed the colorful street dancers. I saw hundreds of heads and a couple of umbrellas! In my effort to enjoy that, I obliged myself to observe the people around me.
